To all our readers/viewers everywhere (and of course my fellow blogmates): Whatever it is you celebrate -- Solstice, Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Ramadan, Festivus, Saturnalia or nothing at all -- here's wishing you all the best now and in the new year.

November 18 was the third anniversary of Pixels at an Exhibition. We're a little late in celebrating it, because close to 50% of our team was on vacation in various places until early December...but now, belatedly, here it is: a collection of our favorite photos from the preceding year, chosen by each of us from the work of the other three. Enjoy.

Shot up close with the Sigma 10-20mm. My regular 24-105mm lens decided to lock up on me at the last stop of my vacation (it wanted to be a 70-105mm, apparently -- at least it waited until the trip was almost at an end before becoming so obstinate), so it's out for servicing. In the meantime, I'm shooting with either the wide angle or the 50mm prime. This one... man, I can't believe how close I had to get to shoot this. Waaaaay too close.

All told, it was a super vacation, with this last portion being perhaps the best road trip Mrs. G and I have ever taken (and we've taken some good ones). Just very relaxing and enjoyable, with beautiful sights and scenery the whole way.

This is from our hotel room in Seaside, Oregon, where we had a lovely room with an ocean view and a fireplace. Even the record-setting rain there couldn't dampen our spirits.
